Temperature data loggers for cold-chain shipments
The logger rides in the carton with the goods and records the whole trip: in the aircraft, on the truck, while the goods wait in a cold room. On arrival its report shows what the temperature did on the way, so if something spoils you can see where it changed. We supply Freshliance Fresh Tag 1, and when the receiver asks for Sensitech TempTale® we supply that to order.
We use data loggers on our group's export orchids
Choose by the job
Two questions first: will the logger go with the goods for good, or come back to you? And do you need humidity too?
Single-trip
Travels with the goods and stays there. Low cost · Fresh Tag 1
Multi-use
The logger comes back and goes out again · Fresh Keeper
Temperature + humidity
Temperature and relative humidity (RH) · Fresh Keeper or TempTale® Ultra Humidity
Receiver specifies Sensitech
TempTale® Ultra and its family · ask for price and lead time

How Fresh Tag 1 works
- 1
Press start, put it in the carton
Alarms are pre-set at the factory. At 4 mm thin, it sits against the side of the carton.
- 2
It travels with the goods
It stays in the carton the whole way: in the aircraft, on the truck, in the cold room.
- 3
Plug into USB at the destination, get a PDF
The receiver plugs it into a computer or an Android phone and it writes the PDF itself. No software. Send it to the other side, or file it.
- Figures from the maker's datasheet (PDF).
Sensitech TempTale® — supplied to order
For shipments where the receiver specifies the brand. Tell us the model, the quantity and the job; the quote gives price and lead time.
Ask about any model in the comparison table above, and other Sensitech products such as TempTale® 4, real-time monitors and ColdStream software.
Goods that should travel with a record
Anything that spoils when the temperature on the way goes wrong should travel with a record.
Cut flowers exported by air
Cut flowers pass through many hands before the buyer. A record shows where it got too warm.
Fresh and frozen food
Evidence for the receiver that the temperature stayed in the agreed range all the way.
Pharma
Where quality systems need validated devices: see Sensitech TempTale® Ultra, validated for life-science use.
Questions
Can I order just a few?
Yes. Ask our sales team for any quantity, from a few loggers to many; we send a quote.
Can a logger travel on a shipment Extico arranges?
Yes, on Japan → Thailand door-to-door imports and on Thailand → Vietnam refrigerated trucking. Say so when you ask for a quote and we include a logger in the quotation: Freshliance Fresh Tag 1 or Sensitech TempTale®.
